Our Sound is Our Wound
Contemplative Listening to a Noisy World
by Lucy Winkett
GoodBookStall Review:
The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book 2010
Any reader who would like to establish a more creative relationship between the experience of God revealed in the Bible and their experience of the twenty-first century will welcome this book. Lucy Winkett has an easy, anecdotal style which is both allusive and informative, allowing the reader to set off on their own reflective journeys. I particularly enjoyed her approach to the treatment of Scripture, seeking to rescue the living story from the often disjointed and fragmentary texts with which one is often presented in church services. Her ‘variations on a theme’ concerning sound, harmony and dissonance in the world and in the human heart were also stimulating.
